Oladipo tried to do too much late, first time i've seen him play outside of himself this year. I didn't like the dunk late, It's not what the team is about. That said, taking any emotion out of his game would be a mistake.
Both teams were playing different than they usually do. Only people playing within themselves were yogi and zeller. Can't wait till they meet again
We cover Oladipo on my website along with the other African players in the NCAA. Been following him since his senior year of high school and it's good to see him gain positive attention for his play(the type of play that is often unheralded). To me he's one of those guys that every team needs. He does a little bit of everything and is just a glue guy. A Luol Deng for example.
I don't watch much college BB. What is the word on this guy? I just saw he is shooting over 65%?!? That's insane! Can he shoot, or is he mostly a dunks/layups guy? Either way, that's impressive. And apparently he is a good defender as well... Is there a reason why he wouldn't go top 10 if he left after this season?
Yogi also played great. Hulls had 3s (his only value). Robinson was not himself. Hardaway played okay but they were missing a starter. Burke started doing way too much in 2nd half. Too many 3s and not enough penetration.
Above 50 from 3s. Took 35+. Does everything for his team. Rebounds, scores, defends. I think he doesn't get much credit as Zeller is the face of Indiana but he is getting his recognition by playing on espn and just playing great against great teams. He is the heart and soul.
To answer your last question, no. He's a lock for top 10 and, for that reason, there isn't much doubt he's leaving. This is IU's year to make a run because Zeller Oladipo are goners.
Yeah, he's a lottery pick. The nice move to the basket and slam... [youtube]bBzyJUYPooU[/youtube] ... and the almost dunk... [youtube]hS4xvM5pa1Y[/youtube]
Jay Bilas @JayBilas 30m Cody Zeller outstanding on both ends against UM. Victor Oladipo, in 45 possessions guarding 4 different players, gave up only 4 points. Wow on the defensive end for Oladipo. A_3PO, I may be crazy but, I'm not convinced Zeller is leaving yet. Leaning yes just don't think it's a foregone conclusion, although, bringing in 7ft Luke Fischer from Wisconsin could mean he's gone.
